Exiting the Billionaire Castle
In 2025 I have spend some time to untangle my digital life from billionaire/fascist (that Venn diagram is becoming more of a circle each and every day) run platforms. So at the beginning of 2026 maybe it makes sense to talk a bit about what I did, why I went certain ways and what works […]

Part of the A379, a coastal road in Devon, connecting the villages of Torcross and Slapton, near Dartmouth,

Let’s show Hilton a little love, shall we?
I don’t know how long this will last — I suspect it is a local thing, not from on high at Hilton Corporate — but we can help out by making standing up look profitable and compliance look costly.

Climate change’s rising seas may threaten tens of millions more people than scientists and government planners originally thought
because of mistaken research assumptions on how high coastal waters already are, a new study said.
Researchers studied hundreds of scientific studies and hazard assessments,
calculating that about 90% of them underestimated baseline coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot (30 centimeters), according to Wednesday’s study in the journal Natur…

Study says millions more are exposed to rising seas than thought
A new study in the journal Nature says most sea level rise research may have underestimated coastal water heights by an average of 1 foot or about 30 centimeters. The discrepancy stems from widespread reliance on gravitational models that account for Earth’s gravity and rotation but overlook local drivers of sea level including tides, currents and wind. Correcting this suggests a 1-meter or 3-foot rise could inundate up to 37% more land and threaten as many as 132 million more people. And tha…
